When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front . It may even bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary .
QUICK TIPSREMINDERS: •Cruise Control button must be ON in order to turn SCC ON/OFF •
The SCC system is turned ON again when the ignition is cycled off, then on again . The speed setting will need to be reset when ignition is cycled •
When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front •
If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently . Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed that the driver is not aware of •
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF •
